Key Points

Assess the detection sensitivity of the proposed 538 kt ESSnuSB water Cherenkov far detector to supernova neutrinos and evaluate its capacity to distinguish between different supernova flux models.
Simulated expected neutrino event rates in a 538 kt water Cherenkov detector using three distinct supernova flux models.
Evaluated model discrimination capability across varying supernova explosion distances while incorporating detector efficiency and systematic errors.
Predicted event counts at Earth vary significantly depending on the assumed supernova neutrino flux model.
The far detector displays high sensitivity for distinguishing among flux models, with discrimination power dictated by supernova distance, detector efficiency, and systematic uncertainties.
